1947 - First Session of the Commission on the Status of Women

From the beginning the Commission members also built close working
relationships with the international human rights treaty bodies, the
Commission on Human Rights, the Social Commission and the
Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of
Minorities, and specialized agencies such as UNESCO and UNICEF. The
chairperson of the Commission was invited to attend the sessions of
the Commission on Human Rights devoted to finalizing the draft
international bill of human rights and copies of preliminary drafts of
the international bill were circulated among members of the
Commission.
